Seems you already found out what's wrong. Why didn't you post anything on the OBSD misc list so that they can fix it? Ragnar
Hello Jan:
I don't really know what else I could do. Right now it looks pretty much as if I'm going to switch to FreeBSD, my second favourite :-| Has anyone got Zope 2.2.5 running under OpenBSD 2.8??? If so, I'd be really curious what steps you followed to get it to work.-
You will have to use FreeBSD or use OpenBSD 2.7.
2.8 will not work because there is a bug in the threading library included with OpenBSD 2.8. Zope triggers it when you call the management screen.
However, in the Zope code for the management screens there are "thread-safe" calls used which are not, as far as I know, used elsewhere in Zope. Maybe there is a bug in that code?
But for now I believe the bug to be in OpenBSD 2.8. I have not found anything to suggest that it has been fixed or looked at. None of the patches released so far for 2.8 mention it.
I went through this in early December.
Luke
